So to start off with I used just a normal socket with a wacky extension and got it stuck my friend got it out for me by pulling it up while loosening it. Then I bought a actual spark plug socket and extension and I used the wrong one on accident so now its stuck but since I used the wrong one the spark plug is sticking through. I tried the same thing my friend did but to no avail. I don’t have needle nose pliers but I have this wire thing that I used for another just bolt to pull it out. Lmk if I do have to buy the plier I will its just Im trying to get it done already with what I have.

You going to risk your head for the sake of saving $5 on a needle nose pliers? Buy the pliers man
Also, probably best to either research what you need before doing work on the vehicle, or just pay a professional. You are just going to damage your engine
You do realise you are missing a tappet adjustment screw right?
Ah, pliers MIGHT work, I have a pair of compound, like double-joint pliers that I used for this very same job awhile ago BUT they barely worked to get in there. I don't think your average needle nose will do it, but I was working on a H22 not a K series so maybe the tube is shorter idk. Anyways, invest in a magnet. Like a telescoping, powerful, pickup magnet. OR just try installing the extension, like the socket drive extension, and working the socket off the plug. Twist, tug, try angles.
